What does Amazon have against showing the play again while the teams are resetting. Just felt like so much watching guys stand around while hearing Al Michaels try to fill the silence.
Whoever the other announcer was, he had the energy of a day old piece of toast.
No graphics, and the ones they used sucked.
Sound issues here and there.
Terrible. It was actually a very exciting game, but you’d never know it with this production and personnel.
Is this what the Thursday night games are like? [Reply]
Not a huge fan of Amazon as a broadcast company but I love Al Michaels. He’s always been good but now he’s firmly in the “IDGAF, I’ll say what I want” part of his career. [Reply]

Yeah I picked up on his IDGAF too lol
I could hear the disdain during all the referee conferences and other game stoppages
and I was old many yelling at the sky too here on the couch bitching about the same thing:-) [Reply]
Did anyone watch the post game show where a "chef" delivered a sandwich to Chris Jones but then didn't know if there was any pork in it? And then the broadcast showed a short clip where three black guys were stealing packages out of an Amazon van for Christmas presents? When they got back the white lady was like "I don't know what that was but we may be getting canceled.".
****ing ridiculous. [Reply]
Herbstreit is an all-timer relative to his gameday & college legacy. I get the impression every time I watch him on Amazon that he doesn't care about pro football. [Reply]

Pretty much... the general idea was if you just want to watch sports, give me all the sports. And then if you don't watch sports, you don't have to pay the premium prices for adding ESPN to your cable package and so forth.
Except everyone is now segmenting sports, making each ala cart option more expensive for everyone while sports fans have to purchase every fucking streaming option available.
And while it grinded my gears to purchase a month of Peacock for the playoff game, it's probably a better option than what I had before, paying $90+/month for Dish while they constantly had contract disputes and killed channels for weeks/months at a time.
I'd say these days I'm missing more sports due to the bullshit versus paying more. :-) [Reply]

That “chef” is one of the most famous chefs in New York. He froze for maybe a split second because Chris jones’ request caught him off guard with a lot of shit going on. There is no need to put that in quotation marks. I thought the whole chef focused segment before and after the game was pretty cool.
The Amazon shit was too much. Might want to mention that one of those guys is Marshawn. Also no quotation marks. [Reply]
I put chef in quotes because I was unsure he was the guy that even made the sandwich... Q: is there any pork in there? A: I don't know. Did he even make the sandwich?
Why the fuck is a chef from NY making a sandwich for the sidelines in Kansas City anyway? This isn't even about the chef, it's the shit poor broadcast. [Reply]
